Immerse in the space of freedom

Ecstatic Dance — is the dance of soul and body

What is Ecstatic Dance Riga?

Ecstatic Dance Riga — a powerful self-development practice through movement. Here, in the flow of music and dance, feelings of happiness, inner freedom, and unity with others naturally emerge.

Joy

Release joy through free movement, let go of tension, and allow your body to speak its own language.

Depth

The flow of music and shared energy allows you to connect with yourself more deeply. Ecstatic dance is often described as meditation in movement.

Freedom

Ecstatic Dance gives you the opportunity to completely surrender control and move however your body wants to.

Mindful dance Riga

Dance meditation — a space where you feel safe. No one judges you here — just be yourself.

Without alcohol and drugs

Ecstatic Dance is transformation. We move with full awareness, without any substances.

Dance for the soul

Dance as therapy. Movement for emotional healing, often combined with breathwork practices.

About Ecstatic Dance Practice in Riga

Dancing Barefoot

We dance barefoot to feel the connection with the earth and our bodies.

Ecstatic Dance is Freedom

There are no rules or choreography here — move however your body calls you to.

Without Words

We stay silent during the dance to listen more deeply to ourselves and others.

With Respect

We honor everyone's personal boundaries. Physical contact happens only with mutual consent.

Without Phones

We put away our devices to be fully present in the moment and in the movement.

Without Substances

Conscious movement happens in clear awareness — without alcohol, drugs, or stimulants.

Music as a Journey

Each DJ set is a sonic journey with peaks, valleys, and moments of silence.

Openness and Acceptance

Here everyone can be themselves — regardless of age, gender, experience, or mood.

Who We Are:

Bremer

One of the founders of the Ecstatic Dance movement in Latvia. He founded and led the cultural space Lampa for over 10 years. Organizer and the musical heart of ecstatics in Riga.

A traveler and journalist by training, he leads groups to sacred places around the world — opening up the Himalayas and other power spots for people from Europe.

His sets are deep journeys filled with vibrant energy and inspiration. Bremer creates a safe space where everyone can move freely, in their own inner rhythm, fully present in the moment.

Irina Livija

Facilitator, therapist, and the inspiration behind Ecstatic Dance Riga. With over 15 years of experience in Tantra, qigong, sound healing, and somatic work, she creates a space for deep heart-centered and embodied dance.

Livija guides breathwork sessions, cacao ceremonies, sound meditations, and contact flow, helping everyone connect with their inner source of love and clarity.

Her presence fills the space with warmth, acceptance, and safety — the perfect conditions for transformation and healing. Livia lovingly holds the opening and closing circles.

What makes her special:

Embodied feminine wisdom — her approach focuses on unlocking inner strength through dance, breath, and somatic practices.

Sound as healing — she weaves Tibetan singing bowls and ritual into ceremonies, creating an atmosphere of deep relaxation and connection

Holistic integration — she works through dance, ritual, and dialogue with the body, helping participants return to awareness and inner stability.

Satori

Musician and shamanic practitioner. Works with sound energy, revealing inner worlds through vibrations.

Sacred Journey Through the Green Himalayas: May 1-14

☀️ Join our sacred journey through the lush, scenic mountains and valleys of the Central Himalayas, with views of snow-capped peaks (average temperature: +22°C during the day, +14°C in the evening). We'll visit places steeped in ancient legends and hear them brought to life by an outstanding storyteller in accessible, contemporary language.
☀️ Our guide for this magical journey is Mikhail — a yoga teacher, philosopher, and practitioner who has lived in India for over 20 years, traveling the country far and wide. Misha is an exceptional guide, storyteller, and organizer who will infuse our journey with wisdom and depth. Along the way, you'll hear (but more importantly, feel in your heart) countless stories from Indian mythology...
☀️ His narratives are grounded in deep knowledge of India's history, religions, and customs. For many years he has practiced and taught yoga, walking the path of conscious living. His stories always carry profound meaning, and he explains in accessible terms things that don't fit into modern life's framework but are very real in the Himalayas.
☀️ Many places in the Central Himalayas remain untouched, authentic India — regions that since the time of Alexander the Great have known no foreign conquerors, destructive fires, or newer religions...
☀️ Having preserved their authenticity, the local people are genuinely friendly. It's no coincidence that the legendary Roerich, who first opened the road to Tibet for the world and revealed the secret of Shambhala, ultimately chose to settle not there, but in Himachal Pradesh. This same state was chosen by the Dalai Lama for his residence, and for many years it has been the center of Tibetan culture and Buddhism.
☀️ We'll also have the opportunity to purchase authentic Indian and Tibetan goods at accessible prices, and visit Tibetan doctors at a clinic overseen by the Dalai Lama.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ecstatic Dance? +

Ecstatic Dance in Riga — free dance without alcohol, drugs, or talking. It's a form of dance meditation where you allow your body to move as it wants, in complete awareness.

Here we combine:

Conscious movement and somatic practices

Music from around the world

A safe atmosphere where personal boundaries are respected

The opportunity to dance without words, staying in the flow of your feelings and emotions

Ecstatic Dance Riga is not just an alcohol-free party. It's a ritual, a path to yourself through embodied practice. Many call ecstatic dance "the dance of transformation" — through conscious movement, in just a couple of hours you can experience an entire inner journey: letting go, freeing yourself, and filling yourself up.

Do I need to know how to dance? +

No skills required. At our ecstatic dance evenings in Riga, we create a space where there is no judgment, no rules, and no choreography. This is dancing without shoes and without expectations. All you need is to be yourself — breathe, move, listen, and embody each moment.

How long does the event last? +

An Ecstatic Dance Riga session typically lasts about three hours. This is a complete journey where each element is an important part of the overall flow, carefully crafted and intentional. This is a space where you can experience a full inner journey and leave feeling supported and energized for days to come.

🔹 Opening Circle

We begin with a gentle entry into the space: a short ceremonial circle where intentions are shared and an atmosphere of respect and acceptance is created. This helps you feel safe and tune in to conscious movement.

🔹 Breathwork or Body Warm-up

Next comes a short breathwork practice, qigong, or somatic practice that prepares the body and nervous system for dance. This might include gentle self-connection, working with the breath, stretching, or meditative movement.

🔹 Main Dance (Ecstatic)

After this, the ecstatic dance itself begins — usually 1.5–2 hours of continuous music from the DJ. This is when you completely immerse yourself in transformative dance, following your body without words, without judgment, and without a script. Here the power of dance meditation fully unfolds.

🔹 Closing Circle

At the end, we gather in a closing circle to let go, express gratitude, and gently return to everyday awareness. This is an essential part of integrating the experience.
